I can see DG bringing in a guy like Austin Pettis this offseason.

I said this before he was waived and was going to be a free agent at the end of the season. I could see it, he's been a reliable target for most of his career. Nothing flashy just like the others we have now minus Benji

Pettis was waived by the Rams yesterday...  I would love to put in a waiver claim on him or sign him if he passes through waivers.  I had the chance to watch him quite a bit while at Boise State during their successful run recently and hoped we would be able to snag him in the draft.  He is a great combo of size and athleticism - 6'3" 205 lbs. and really good measurables.  Furthermore, he has experience at both return spots as well.

 

He was the Rams 2011 third-round draft choice and he contributed in every facet he possibly could on offense and ST, but he was apparently late for a team meeting on Saturday and so Fisher canned him...

Anyone else interested?  With Philly's injury and our lack of speed/athleticism at WR right now, combined with his ability to contribute as a STer, I think this could be a claim/signing that could pay dividends immediately.

 

Now, discuss, or flame away, but I feel this is a legitimate player worth looking into.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
